Because doesn't everybody have 22 LLCs that do nothing but transfer between one another in a plainly obvious money laundering operation?
Hunter Biden was paid approximately $83,333 a month (roughly $1 million a year) while serving on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings starting in 2014. This in spite of the fact that Hunter did not speak the language, knew nothing about the business, and did not do any work.
And now all that money has mysteriously vanished, and Hunter cannot pay child support.
Joe Biden is on video openly bragging about how he used his clout as vice president to extort Ukraine. Any chance that Biden and Obama had anything to do the present Ukraine situation? Like putting Zelensky in charge?
What about Hillary selling US Uranium $140 million? I guess that is no problem, because it's okay when we do it.
Ever notice how people with no great finance background, get elected to congress, and all of the sudden they're making four million a year on their investments? And if it's not congress, it's some other government office - elected or not.
They also tend to get ridiculous book deals, or Netflix deals.
Go ahead and get angry at Trump. But please recognize this is bipartisan, and has been going on for ages - and not in any small way.
Another thought came to mind. Let's assume we have intentionally fired and targeted rockets, and choice is between the Moon and the Sun.
I would choose the Moon, for the reason of recycling. We can likely recover materials from those rockets later. Many of them highly valuable once remnants of meteors that hit our planet's surface run out and before we start asteroid mining/if we discover some significant obstacles to mining asteroids in the future.
Shoot it at the Sun, and it's gone for us. We cannot use it again.
IMHO it makes sense to do keep them at least hypothetically recoverable in the future at no cost to us. Moon is worthless. It's an old, dead rock in space with no atmosphere and no magnetosphere. It eats massive asteroid collisions regardless. Even six to seven digit rocket shots at it would change nothing relevant from our perspective. If anything, I'd try to concentrate the rockets falling on the Moon in hopes of making it more concentrated batch of resources to more easily recycle in the long term future.
Story implies they didn't aim at all, it just took itself out?
Am I reading it wrong, or is story lying? I will admit I didn't verify.
Honestly, a bit confused here. The problem with space debris is that they stay up there, requiring a lot of tracking resources so that new launches don't get hit by it.
If this one went into Moons gravity well and crashed there, that means it's not a problem any more. Trash has been taken out. That's a good thing, isn't it?
Most of "Steam's Linux users" are almost certainly Steam Deck users at this point. Steam Machines running SteamOS aren't relevant yet due to RAM costs hitting those, and if you're a gamer on desktop, you boot into your windows partition even if you're a mainline linux user pretty much every time.
Microsoft knew exactly what it was doing when it allowed you to run windows even without a license in 10 and 11.
There are almost no exceptions to this outside the neckbeard crowd. Hence the main fluctuations in Linux users so far have been from Steam Deck adoption rate.
Unfortunately, "year of Linux on desktop" remains a meme in 2026.
Maybe the EU? Maybe IBM? Maybe China?
Some big entity needs to start insisting on some OSS format.
It's an issue of battery capacity and charging/output speed. When battery was small, charging speed low and engine power low, you could do with cheaper air cooling.
As charging speeds and power go up, air eventually becomes insufficient.
Leafs from last 7-10 years are mostly ok. They had low power, low charge speeds, and so battery doesn't heat all that much in normal use patterns. Old Leaf's main problem was BMS. It was primitive and did a very poor job at maintaining the battery.
Margin of error is probably in the realm of 1-2%. This is no meaningful change in user base month to month. You're seeing fluctuations that are within the error margin.
Don't take the clickbait.
WTF? The protein "fad" has been going on since, at least, 1980. Nothing to do with MAGA.
Protein intake increases thermogenesis. This FGF21 is probably being released when protein is low because more body heat is needed when digestion and absorption aren't producing it, but we know protein-rich diets result in more total thermogenesis.
Leaf batteries are air cooled, and their early BMS was very, very unfinished. Hence the rapid drop of range with time.
Modern EVs are pretty much all liquid cooled, and have complex battery (and) thermal management systems. Their degradation is much better than early leafs.
Reality is quite a bit more complex. Batteries do go bad when usage is bad. Rapidly. Fast charge to 100% every day, and see how it holds up. Hint: it won't.
What changed is that now we have mechanics with experience in battery management who will take a look a deep look into the battery data that they will pull from a modern BMS (which have improved massively in last 10 years), compare it to how it should have aged and will be able to give a detailed reports on how this car's battery holds up.
This means that people who do retarded shit to their EVs now struggle to sell the cars, while responsible owners who keep batteries in good condition can now charge a bit of a premium on used market in most developed nations (and increasingly, quite a few developing ones).
So in summary, this is about evolution of BMS coupled with emergence of experienced cadre of specialist mechanics who specialized in automotive batteries, their service and repair. You still shouldn't trust old batteries. But now, you have ways to verify.
